Preparation
- Step 1
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend at high speed until smooth.
- Advance preparation: Smoothies are meant to be made and drunk right away. This will thicken up as it sits, and the flavor will lose its brightness.Martha Rose Shulman can be reached at martha-rose-shulman.com.

Added grated fresh ginger for a little zing. Terrific! Tip: when you buy and have more fresh ginger than you need (and who doesn’t?), break it into small pieces and freeze. Then, as you want it, pull a piece right out of the freezer and grate it directly into your dish - delivers fresh ginger flavor great for smoothies, stir frys, fruit pie, etc.
I'd love to get some insight re: the glycemic index of these smoothie recipes from the authors, as well as modifications to limit the sugar load (adding fiber and protein?) that others may have tried, and think work well.
This time, I had loads of fresh blueberries and good frozen mango--results were much better than my first attempt. I also used 3T almond meal, which I had on hand, instead of 6 whole almonds. To sweeten, I chopped up 2 medjool dates--one would have done. I agree that the lime juice is key. Didn't have enough soy yogurt, so I supplemented with soy milk and added some ice cubes to thin. I'll keep making this one until my mango runs out; I hope the berries last through winter.
Tasty flavors! I didn't have buttermilk, so I used half yogurt, half milk.
My blender couldn’t handle the lack of liquid so I added a cup of water and it was still great. My kids loved it!
This recipe basically changed my life. Buttermilk is now my go-to smoothie liquid. My favorite: banana, frozen mango, frozen strawberries and a good handful of spinach.
